Glenkinchie 10 Year Old is an elegant single malt Scotch whisky that captures the smooth and fruity nuances of the Lowlands region of Scotland in a glass. This old bottling is a true classic and an excellent example of the fine aromas and characteristic flavours of this region. In this detailed product review, we will delve into the world of Glenkinchie 10 Year Old, from its origins and production to its distinctive flavour profile and the best ways to enjoy it

A Lowland survivor, Glenkinchie has prospered while other distilleries have closed and been demolished. In 2021, its transformation was complete when its visitor experience was transformed to become part of the Johnnie Walker Experience. This is its bread and butter every day as while the distillery does have a modest single malt presence, it is rarely bottled by independent bottlers and generally isn’t available to the market. Established in 1825 by Milton by the Rate family, who then change the name to Glenkinchie in 1837 before selling up a few years later when distilling stops. This returns to the site in the late 1890s via new owners before the distillery is acquired by Scottish Malt Distillers, a forerunner of Diageo, today. Often referred to as the ‘breakfast malt’, Glenkinchie is light, approachable and inoffensive. Its constant expressions are a 12 year old Distillers Edition with the odd exclusive bottling. Quite often these are seen as ideal stepping stones into the world of single malts.

Glenkinchie 10 Year Old is distinguished by its elegant and balanced flavour profile. Upon opening the bottle, you'll be greeted by a fruity and slightly floral aroma with notes of green apple, citrus, heather, and a subtle vanilla sweetness. This whisky exudes an atmosphere of lightness and elegance.

A sip of Glenkinchie 10 Year Old reveals a mild and fruity taste on the tongue. Predominant notes of green apple, pear, citrus, and a hint of honey are accompanied by subtle nuances of vanilla and oak. This whisky has a soft and smooth finish that impresses the palate with its finesse and balance.
